Hello I have just finished searching the archives and have also searched the net for specific guidelines for how day care centers should store breastmilk. I need to go to my hospital day care and do an in-service, here are some of the things they are currently doing that I think are wrong: 1. having babies drink from bottles or cups (formula,juice,breastmilk) and then putting the unused portion back in the refrigerator for later use 2. warming breastmilk in a crock-pot? These are things that a mom told me about , so I need to do my research first before contacting them. If you can offer any help with this, I would certainly appreciate it. TIA, Cindy ~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~** Cindy Curtis, RN, IBCLC mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.breastfeedingonline.com *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
